No more CDs?

I've recently heard that starting December 2012, CDs for music will no longer be under production and all music will have to be downloaded over the Internet (this is not counting video games). My opinion, I think it's a dumb idea but I guess there's a totally different point of view to a producers standpoint. Your guys' opinions?

Reviving this topic for a bit. For some reason, I find it ironic that the CD format is gonna be ending in December of this year. And that's also around the same time that the supposed 'end of the world' (which is alot of bull) takes place. XD

I do not support, not at all. I would honestly hate for CD to go away. I hate digital products. I prefer, no, LOVE Physical copies. It feels so much more satisfactory, to own a physical copy, to actually feel a sense of ownership of my products. I also prefer looking at the artwork for the CDs and the cover.

Plus, not everyone is blessed with amazing Internet, mine sucks. To download to a full album for me would take 30 minutes to an hour. :l Much more efficient for me to buy a CD. Oh, and I can take and use the CD wherever and whenever I want.

I prefer Physical copies, for everything.

That's exactly how I feel about certain things, I would hate for video games to, one day, have to be downloaded right on to your Xbox360 or PS3.

Now that I think about this one, what they might mean is no more compact disks, i.e. CDs, but the more recent modified versions like DVDs and Blu-Rays might stay around. CDs are honestly starting to become pointless. DVDs are becoming about as inexpensive, if memory serves, and hold more data. Me, I honestly can't wait until those weird golden disk-like things that hold 2 terabytes of junk can be mass-produced. I'll just hang one of those in a tough case around my neck. "Oh, this? It's the stuff off my computer. All of it."
